It has now been almost three\u00a0weeks since my first Face 2 Face session with Cohort 21, and I can honestly say that I am still in awe of the entire experience.<\/p>\n
Like most people, when I drive, I listen to the radio. When I left The York School on Saturday afternoon and got in my car, I immediately had to turn off the music. It felt like my brain was in overdrive mode \u2013 it was swirling with thousands of thoughts and impressions of the day, and it desperately needed a break. I drove the whole hour-long drive back home in silence, and yet it didn\u2019t feel like silence, as I simply could not shut my brain off.<\/p>\n
As Garth and Justin went over some details about being a member of the Cohort, they mentioned the idea of taking what you can from the experience, a bit like drinking from a fire hose. I thought of this video of Dante, so overjoyed to find a lawn sprinkler, and lapping up every bit of delicious, cold water that he can:<\/p>\n

Like Dante drinking the water, I want to take as much from this experience as possible. I have an incredible opportunity to learn from some of the most dedicated and talented educators I\u2019ve ever met, I am learning tools and ways of thinking that will make be a better teacher, and I am given a chance to really reflect on my practice, which is so often neglected in the day to day busyness of life at an independent school. As a case in point: it has taken me three weeks to write this blog post. Here\u2019s to not taking three weeks for the next one!<\/p>\n
